Foreign Festivals in China

Since the implement of the policy of reform and open in 1978, in China, people are influenced by the foreign culture and convention. The most obvious thing is that people use foreign products and the foreign festivals are becoming more and more popular. The growing popularity of western festivals inChinais a good phenomenon.自從1978年改革開放政策的實(shí)施，在中國(guó)，人們深受外國(guó)文化和習(xí)俗的影響。最明顯的就是人們使用外國(guó)產(chǎn)品和洋節(jié)在中國(guó)變得越來越流行。西方節(jié)日在中國(guó)的日益流行是一種好的現(xiàn)象。

On the one hand, the growing popularity of western festivals promotes cultural exchanges between countries. There are 56 unique ethnic groups in our country, it has profound cultures, we can’t know well about our culture, let alone the foreign counties. While the policy of reform and open helps we know more about the world, we start to learn their culture by their festivals.一方面，西方節(jié)日在中國(guó)的日益流行促進(jìn)了國(guó)家間文化的交流。我們國(guó)家有56個(gè)民族，文化博大精深，對(duì)于自己的文化都無法全面了解，更何況外國(guó)的呢。然而改革開放政策讓我們對(duì)世界有更多的了解，我們開始通過節(jié)日了解他們的文化。

On the other hand, when we admit foreign festivals, we treat the festivals as our necessary days, so we will spend the days, buying presents, thus, it will promote our country’s economy. Today, most people get used to the Christmas Day in China, people buy a lot of discount products, just like Spring Festival, they are attracted the holiday themes.另一方面，當(dāng)我們承認(rèn)洋節(jié)，把節(jié)日當(dāng)成必要的一部分，這樣就會(huì)過這個(gè)節(jié)日，買禮物，以此來促進(jìn)我們國(guó)家經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。今天，大部分人在中國(guó)習(xí)慣了圣誕節(jié)，人們買很多打折產(chǎn)品，就像在春節(jié)那樣，被節(jié)日的主題吸引。

Some people worry about the foreign festivals will let us forget about our own traditional festivals. On the contrary, it enhances our sense of convention, people will realize the importance of our culture. For these reasons, the foreign festivals are welcomed.有人擔(dān)心外國(guó)節(jié)日會(huì)讓我們忘記自己的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。相反，那反而增強(qiáng)了我們的習(xí)俗感，人們會(huì)意識(shí)到我們文化的重要性。出于以上這些理由，洋節(jié)會(huì)變得流行。
